Original poster

A plate has fallen down the back of the loo - how can I get it out?

And not just any plate - this is a plate painted by ME for dd's hair bands! I did it when she was painting a mug for dh- the man was so impressed he put it in the window. [preen]

It's annoying.

Now the cistern of the loo is built into a tongue and groove type wall affair, and can only be accessed from the top. The plate has fallen down, below the cistern, onto the floor below.

I can't reach it, nobody can reach it.

Any ideas?

Me too, but as this is from 2008 I fear we will be disappointed. X

Lasagnabreath · 18/06/2017 22:44

I just want to see the plate!

I remember this at the time. I lurked for the whole saga.

I wish there were some way of resurrecting the pics.....

IrritableBitchSyndrome · 10/11/2015 20:14

Wow. Amused into fits of silent giggles next to sleeping DP, and blown away by Rusty's incredible poem. A classic indeed.

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 10/09/2015 14:22

Did this plate ever get rescued?

Blatantly ignoring zombie thread alert too. that threat was a good Wine WineWine epic, the poet deserves a round of pints at the local.

Ellengriswold · 03/12/2014 19:10

Can't see the pics :-(
also blatantly ignores zombie thread warning
Ahundredtimes are you there?

Chubbas · 19/04/2014 21:38

Just read this....crying with laughter GrinGrin just brilliant!

JugglingFromHereToThere · 19/04/2014 21:15

Just found this due to current bobble crisis thread.
Excellent, especially Rusty's epic poem Smile

< boldly defies MNHQ zombie alert warning >

Proudnscary · 06/10/2011 14:52

Purple - I am desperate to see the pics!
I wish OP would repost.

Purplebuns · 06/10/2011 11:27

PMSL although such a shame the pics are long gone.

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 06/10/2011 11:09

Oh, I remember this, I burnt dinner as I was unable to walk away, dp came home to me crying at the pc and a nasty smell of smoke.

He thought something awful had happenedGrin

Sometimes old threads are worth reviving...

Littlefish · 22/05/2010 21:30

Oh, I remember this one so clearly. I contributed a string-bag-retrieval-system idea.

TrillianAstra · 08/05/2010 15:15

New idea for comedy trolling - start a new thread saying the exact same things and see what responses you get!

RustyBear · 08/05/2010 15:14

some of us are still around, Merkin. Can't believe this was so long ago.

30andMerkin · 08/05/2010 14:59

Oh god, why did this just pop up in active convos... I am weeping with laughter!

Any of Team Plate still around??

Lpsmum · 08/05/2010 14:52

I really want to see the photos but the op seems to have locked her profile now

Cadelaide · 08/05/2010 14:46
